WPA moves to new studio
The Women Printmakers of Austin are moving to a new studio in the Pump Project Art Complex. The lively East Austin arts space, a former 1950s warehouse, is already home to the working studios and galleries of emerging artists and craftspeople.
WPA will join the Pump Project crowd, opening a printmaking studio for its members and non-members.
Saturday, Aug. 29 beginning at 6:20 p.m., the WPA will be hosting a studio baby shower to raise money and supplies for the new facility. Read the registry of needed suppliess.
WPA will stage its annual exhibit, ‘Multiple Originals’ in the Pump Project gallery Sept. 26-Oct. 17.
See womenprintmakers.com for more information.
Pump Project will be a busy scene Saturday night. Also going on starting at 7 p.m. is the reception of ‘Anxiety,’ Cantanker magazine’s third annual summer catalog and exhibition. Featuring the work of 19 artists from Texas and beyond, ‘Anxiety’ was selected by Austin Museum of Art’s assistant curator Andrea Mellard.

Just wanted to make a clarification: Pump Project has EXPANDED! We just rented a second building about 1/2 mile down the street from our beloved main warehouse.
The Women Printmakers of Austin will be partying at the NEW location (Pump Project Satellite Studios - 1109 Shady Lane - a bright green building) and Cantanker Magazine’s “Anxiety” Show will be held at the main (yellow) building - 702 Shady Lane. Come to both events for a great Saturday night!!
